VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 22, 2011) - Cream Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CMA)(OTCBB:CRMXF)(FRANKFURT:DFL) ("Cream" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the arrival and commencement of drilling by the second drill rig at the Company's Nuevo Milenio Silver-Gold Project located in Nayarit State, Mexico.


There are now 2 drill rigs working. The first is located on Dos Hornos 1, a higher grade quartz vein and the second on Veta Tomas, also a higher grade quartz vein. Both drills are performing in-fill drilling. Two holes have been completed.


The 2011 diamond drill program began February 6, 2011 and calls for 10,000 metres of diamond drilling with the option to extend the drill program by an additional 10,000 metres. The first drill rig is testing Dos Hornos 1, where two drill holes were completed to a depth of 198 metres and 179 metres respectively. A total of fifty core samples were cut and shipped to the Inspectorate Preparation Lab at Durango, Dgo, Mexico.


All analysis will be done at the Inspectorate Assay Lab at Sparks, Nevada. All samples will be assayed for Au and Ag by fire assays with AA finishing plus 29 elements ICP-AES Scan by aqua regia digestion and Hg by CVAA.


Check samples are taken initially at an average of 1 check sample for each 5 samples shipped. These samples will be sent to the Stewart Group Assay Lab in Kamloops, B.C.


The prepared sample pulp collected for check assaying will be split into two parts. Part 1 of the sample pulp has been sent to Inspectorate for routine assaying. Part two of the sample pulp will be shipped to the Stewart Group Preparation Lab in Zacatecas and from there to their Assay Lab in Kamloops, B.C. for assaying using a 31 element package as described above.


The objective of the drill program is three fold:

At Dos Hornos 1, Dos Hornos 2 and Veta Tomas - in-fill drilling to upgrade the reported Inferred Mineral Resources.
At Once Bocas North - define the known 100 metre wide quartz vein - quartz stockwork zone and to confirm its possible open pit potential, including in-fill drilling to delineate the potential of the higher grade vein structures.
Step-out drilling to test known extensions of Once Bocas North, Once Bocas South, the Chacuaco open pit potential and high grade quartz vein potential, and the Cafetal South vein structures.
